Your Political Compass

Rogue Keeper on 27/6/2007 at 08:12

Anarchist or despot? Collectivist or free marketeer? You probably have a foggy idea about your position, but do you have exact idea?

(www.politicalcompass.org)

My results :
Economic Right/Left : -4.88
Social Libertanian/Authoritanian :-2.21

Small surprise for me is that regarding social issues I'm on about the same level as Big Milton. That's probably because I'm not as familiar with his positions in various social issues as much as with widely promoted radical neo-liberal theories.

Big surprise for me is that most friends I asked to take the test ended in about the same Soft Lib Left square like me (with most of them being just a bit more right and more lib) but in everyday discussion about various social and economical issues we often find quite radical differencies between our opinions. Hmm.

Old hat search has revealed that it's just a few days old hat.
Therefore, special credit goes to SD for being the first who brought the Political Compass to CommChat right here : (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114618#post1608348)
I didn't really watch Zero Tolerance thread and found the compass independently just yesterday.

Now hurry to take the test. =)

Additionally, this was on CommChat years ago, and I'm pretty sure that it had pages well into the double figures.

EDIT: (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=715&highlight=politicalcompass) More like three pages.

Actually, I was under the impression that I had seen this Political Compass in here a long time ago.

Anyway, my results were:

Economic Right/Left : -7.25
Social Libertanian/Authoritanian :-5.85

Guess I'm somewhat of a pinko :p

[Edit]: It seems I was right, as agwpt shows. Indeed a long time ago.

So long ago not even old hat search can reach it. But I like reruns of good shows!

AGWPT is right, this does crop up fairly regularly, but people's political views evolve over time (I know mine have):

Which makes me a fairly typical British liberal; socially laissez-faire and more or less economically centrist.

Stupid part: "Astrology accurately explains many things." Not even astrology claims to explain stuff 'accurately'.

Best part: "It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product." :laff:

I was 3 ickeys to the left of the vertical, and 4 ickeys under the horizontal.

I have no idea how to get the graph in my post:tsktsk:

When on the page, hit [PrtScr]. Go into the grafics program of your choice, start a new document, hit [Ctrl]+[V], crop, save, load up at an image hosting site.
